You got it almost right. Since you didn't get it exactly right, you've smeared people such as myself that never expected SHARE to pay for printing handouts. Few, if any, of the speakers work in an office where an unlimited number of copies is considered acceptable. For people like me that work at home, things like Kinkos is the only alternative. Given the chance to avoid paying ~$250.00 for printing, I jumped on it. (Even doubled-sided 2-up copies add up when you're giving 7 hours or so of sessions. Anything like 4-up gets as many complaints as no handouts.) > For everyone else, SHARE was business as usual. Sure was. I saw a few hundred pounds of handouts sitting on just one of the tables in the convention center late Friday. Not sure how much was on all the other tables spread around, but it was more than a little.
